Disney Princess films rarely impress me. You can therefore imagine my surprise when I saw Frozen and genuinely liked it! The plot was decent. The themes and lessons were fairly fresh for the genre. The music was top-notch (particularly the orchestral soundtrack). And the animation was excellent. That said, a MOC had to happen for BrickWorld 2014! My creation features my favorite song from Frozen, For the First Time in Forever

Many thanks to Paul Vermeesch for the full scale white backed pictures! And Beyond the Brick spared me an arduous photography session by highlighting this MOC in a short coverage video (found below). Much obliged gents!

Looks great! When I saw this from across the room at Brickworld, I recognized what it was immediately. Much to everyones annoyance, it also sparked some people in the crowd to start singing some Frozen songs, so thanks for that, too. Great job, and please keep builds like this coming! I'd love to see this become the new trend!

Ian Sir you are an excellent builder and a great guy and a good internet buddy of sorts xD. But I must confiscate your man card for this one :O xD

Haha, ouch. But jokes aside, you've indirectly hit on a subject to which I've recently been giving some thought (buckle up!): Building for public display is very different than building for internet buddies. My goal here was to create something that catered to both the public and my fellow builders. Judging by the MOCs' reception at the con, I think I did okay! Plus it was a blast to branch out and build something from the Disney Princess world. The Lego community has a plethora of castle builders, but next to none of them are working in the Disney Princess department (even with the new sets out). Perhaps I'm on my way to starting a new trend! ;)

I hate frozen. The plot was decent, and the moral was good, the animation was excellent. But it was over hyped. But however, that applies not at all to your creation. Every time I look at your work it inspires me to build on. You are a very talented builder and perhaps one of the best on this website. Keep up the excellent work.

"The plot was fresh" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! Oh Ian, your jokes get me every time... Wait, that was serious? Oh boy... >.>

Doh! I misspoke! You're right, the plot wasn't all that out of the ordinary, though it had a few more twists than the average Disney Princess film. Anyhow, I meant to communicate that the themes and lessons were fresh. It's not everyday you see Hollywood defining love as "putting others' needs before your own" ~Olaf. There! Hopefully I redeemed myself a little. ;)

WOW.
Frozen was, I agree, excellent. Although I'm getting tired of hearing that one song that Princess Frostbite sang when she ran away, it's literally everywhere these days. D:

Haha, yes...that one song. Our culture just can't let it go. Though I'm not surprised. Even though the song is adverse to the final message of the film, it caters to our culture's promotion of moral relativism: "No right, no wrong for me." ~Elsa. Granted, the tune is very catchy too.

"The plot was fresh" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! Oh Ian, your jokes get me every time... Wait, that was serious? Oh boy... >.> Regardless of whether the MOVIE was original or not, this build certainly fits into that category. :) Well done, and I love the use of turkey for hair!! :D

Wow! You've gotten insanely good at those figures, and this one's genius! You say the dress was simple, but it looks pretty darn perfect to me! And stickers for connections... Awesome idea! Great work Ian! :D

Very well done as usual, Ian! The angles in the roof are very smooth in the corners. The figure and dress especially are spot on. It was really best to see this in person and it was great chatting with you again this year. I'm assuming you'll be posting your princess bride mocs from brickworld soon too as well?

Wonderful job Ian! The build is wonderfully textured, and you captured the buildings facade nigh perfectly. Anna is also wonderfully put together with a perfectly designed dress. Well done on capturing a wonderful scene from what was an excellent film.

Well now that you have gotten that song in my head for the rest of the day I probably come to your house with bazooka. Nice build great seeing it in person. Rubbing all those log pieces...so therapeutic...great job!
